Question

Between which two consecutive whole numbers does the root of 12 lie

Answer 1

3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

`\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{12}=a.\text{ such as} \\ \\ a^2=12 \end{gathered}`

get the square of

`\begin{gathered} 2^2=4 \\ 3^2=9 \\ 4^2=16 \end{gathered}`
`9<12<16`

then,

the root of 12 lies between 3 and 4
